I like the first screen the most...
It almost feels RoB-ish, and that's the best compliment I can make I think...
Keep it defenitely up metro,

SF

Cervantes is still my favorite screen of this park. I dont think i like the first one it doesnt mesh with all the others but it does scream Sophita.

You still have your dangerous leg chopping supports on the invert

Other than that i dont have anything to say, other than WOW!

*EDIT* - I dont like the sound of the 4d coasters Ive never seen a great looking 4d coaster, and 2 of them? Sounds uh I hope im not dissapointed by em So whos the guest builder

Out of the 4 screens the 1st is the best,
but i love the way those supports are done in the second screen, they look so complexe.

No.......trust me........these are good.........very good.

You'll find out in good time

Ahhh...guest building is fun, especially in secret! Towards the end it gets rough 'cos you kind of wish people knew it was you (especially if it's some of your best work), but the surprise by others at the end is worth the wait. I know I enjoyed it.

Great park so far Metro (and )...

Fuck! I really like it! The complete pictures are flawless! And, I really like the game too! Voldo is my favourite character... Hope there will be a cool coaster for him!

Keep up (and release soon)

PS. tell how much % the park is on

Just make the seats rotate on the 4D coasters and I'll be happy no matter what the track looks like. Smooth rotating too, not glitchey rotating. You've got to watch it all the way through and make sure it isn't glitching back and forth cause you left some track pieces at the default rotation setting.

Thats got to be the most boring thing of coaster building, its often left out. THats another reason they usually dont turn out great, i also think the track looks pig ugly (no offence to pigs).

Really looking forward to seeing them now

Voldo is my favourite character... Hope there will be a cool coaster for him!

Uhhhh....That's what the 4d's are themed to. Voldo's two weapons.

The park is just under 50% done. Looking for a summer release.

The reason why many 4d's "suck" is because most people don't put themselves in the seats themselves: they don't see from the perspective of the rider and make either horrible rotations or none at all. That is the point of a 4d coaster, and without it there is no point other than a "regular" coaster. Another thing is that many people construct the layout and then go back and do the the rotations, yet most people bank turns when they build the layout instead of waiting until later and things like that. The angle of rotation is relative to the track, not the ground, which makes it harder to control relative to the ground. RCT2 4d's, just like the real thing at this time, are a very in-exact science; not like that's necessarily a bad thing.

This (and the ugly lift hill) is why I've never used one...yet?

This will be quite a summer!

The 4D in Wisconsin is fucking awesome (as is the rest of the park.) This park along with the Nascar one are my two favourites parks in preogress at the mo and I think the dueling 4D's soung great and to theme them to Voldo's weapon is a masterstroke. Great work.

Xianghua

Constantly invaded by Japanese Pirates, the great Ming Empire of the East was one of the countries that expended great effort to search for Soul Edge - believed to be the "Hero's Sword" - to protect its people and regain its dignity. Unfortunately, three such quests failed. The first two search parties never returned, and the third group, which had just returned recently, was also unsuccessful in finding the Hero's Sword. The failure of the third quest devastated the Emperor, given that the group consisted of warriors hand-picked from his royal guards.

Xianghua was one of the members of the third group. She grew up in a family with a prestigious military lineage, and learned the ways of the sword from her now-deceased mother. Even after her mother fell ill and passed away, Xianghua continued to hone her skills and eventually became a member of the Emperor's royal guards.

She was then assigned the prestigious honor of the search for Soul Edge, but her mission failed. Falling into disfavor with the Emperor for her failure, Xianghua was stripped of her rank of royal guard and reassigned to a menial position that she had no desire to do. Her family lamented her fall from grace, but Xianghua was content with her situation.



In truth, she actually found Soul Edge four years ago. But the weapon said to be the Hero's Sword turned out to be an evil sword that had an infinite appetite for human souls. "Nothing good will come of this if I bring such a sword back to my country. I must destroy this evil thing!" Xianghua decided.

She battled Soul Edge with the help of her companion, Kilik, and managed to shatter the evil sword within the fiery vortex created by the weapon. Regrettably, her mother's keepsake sword that protected her with its mysterious powers during the battle was lost in the void when they escaped from the vortex. "Cut your path through an uncertain future…" Xianghua may have lost her mother's keepsake sword, but her mother's last words remained clear in her mind. She firmly believed that she had made the right decision.

One day, an incident occurred which devastated Xianghua. The Emperor attacked a castle near the border of her homeland. The Empire justified its attack by publicly stating that the castle was plotting to rise in revolt. But Xianghua found out the truth from Ming spies.

A man from the second search team apparently had found the Hero's Sword, but refused to return and holed himself up in the castle. He did not respond to any of the messengers sent to summon him, and the lord of the castle refused to turn him over. The Emperor was convinced that the lord of the castle refused to turn over the weapon in order to keep it for himself. As a result, soldiers were dispatched to retrieve the sword. Although the castle fell, the sword could not be found.

The Emperor ordered Xianghua to investigate the remains of the castle. He reasoned that she was the only person who came within reach of Soul Edge and that her experience and knowledge of the sword would be valuable in locating it amongst the rubble of the castle.

Xianghua had destroyed the evil sword, so the castle could not have housed Soul Edge. Had she reported the truth, the tragic incident may never have happened. Dispatched to the battlegrounds of the castle, she left with a heavy heart. Gathering information from the few remaining survivors and tattered records, Xianghua discovered that an object referred to as a Soul Edge fragment had existed there.

If it was truly a piece of Soul Edge, there had to be those who sensed its evil energy. That would explain why the individual who found the fragment hesitated to surrender it to the Emperor. From what she gathered about the shard, it was hard to believe that the lord of the castle would desire such an insignificant little object for himself. Could it be that the fragment was really from the accursed Soul Edge?

The weapon that Xianghua believed she had destroyed may still be wreaking havoc unto the world!

If this proved to be the truth, someone had to find every single fragment and crush them down until nothing remained. Xianghua convinced herself that this was a burden she had to bear, since she failed to destroy Soul Edge completely the first time.

Xianghua moved quickly once her mind was settled on the matter- she resigned her Emperor's assigned duty that very night...


Kilik

Kilik was an orphan found abandoned on Ling-Sheng Su Mountain as an infant. The elders at the temple took him in and cared for him as their own. Martial arts became a part of his daily life from a young age, and Kilik became especially fond of fighting with the rod. By his sixteenth year, he became so proficient with the weapon that he was selected as the successor of the secret arts of the rod.

The Ling-Sheng Su Temple had three sacred treasures, one of which was a rod known as Kali-Yuga. Becoming the successor of the secret art meant that this revered treasure would eventually be passed down to him. Tragically, the Evil Seed rained down upon the temple the night before the succession ceremony.

Driven insane by the Evil Seed, the residents of the temple butchered one another in a bloody riot. An elderly man found an exhausted Kilik the following morning and saved him from imminent death. He was the lone survivor of the ordeal. The Ling-Sheng Su Temple, which had once flourished with martial arts students, was forever obliterated from the face of the earth.

When Kilik awoke, he found himself in an old man's hermitage. Along with Kali-Yuga, Dvapara-Yuga, a mirrored sash that was one of the three sacred treasures, rested on his shoulder. Dvapara-Yuga belonged to Xianglian, another orphan at the temple who had been like an older sister to him.

The Evil Seed had spun Kilik's destructive instincts out of control. When he regained his sanity, he was already wearing Dvapara-Yuga. He realized the sacred treasure must have cleansed the evil energy from his body. The only person who could have placed Dvapara-Yuga on him was Xianglian.

And he had killed her.

He had taken Xianglian's life. She would have survived had she kept Dvapara-Yuga on herself. Instead, she gave the mirrored sash to Kilik and lost her life after being overcome by madness. Why did she sacrifice herself in order to save him? And what was Kilik supposed to live for, when everyone he loved had been slain by his own hands?



After a long period of self-loathing and blame, Kilik concluded that the only thing he could do was to destroy the evil resident within him. "The root of all the evil is Soul Edge," the elderly man said. He said this as if he had been waiting for Kilik to reach this conclusion by himself. "You, along with Kali-Yuga, which absorbs spiritual energy, have been filled with evil power ever since that fateful night. Dvapara-Yuga is the only thing that maintains the balance between good and evil."

The old man, who lived alone in a remote region, turned out to be a martial arts advisor for the Ling-Sheng Su Temple.

Under the advisor's tutelage, Kilik learned the secret art of the Ling-Sheng Su style rod and techniques to control the evil energy within both Kali-Yuga and himself. In time, Kilik left on a journey to destroy the demonic sword. During his travels, Xianghua and Maxi joined Kilik on his quest.

They eventually reached Nightmare's stronghold but were surrounded by Nightmare's horde. Through Maxi's selfless actions, Kilik and Xianghua were able to slash their way through the endless waves of foes to reach Nightmare. They challenged their powerful adversary, and a fierce battle ensued. Ultimately, the power of Xianghua's Soul Calibur prevailed- they succeeded in destroying the evil blade.

Dvapara-Yuga shattered during the violent encounter against Nightmare. It was then that Kilik realized the evil within his body remained under control, even without the sacred treasure. During the long journey, he had gained the ability to suppress the demonic powers within him.

For some time, Xianghua and Kilik searched for Maxi, but could find nary a trace of the lost pirate. The two of them eventually went their separate ways- Kilik returned to his master in order to perfect the technique of neutralizing and purifying the evil energy over time.

Four years had passed since the fateful battle.

One day, Kilik sensed a malevolent aura- it had the same energy as the wicked, demonic blade. Soul Edge still existed! Merely shattering the weapon had not destroyed it. "If brute strength alone wasn't enough to destroy Soul Edge, would it be possible to absorb all of its powers into Kali-Yuga?" Kilik wondered. "Kali-Yuga can absorb any form of energy, so it should be possible to keep all of the blade's evil power under my control. Then I can try to purify it over time..."

He then realized the enormity of his plan. Four years had passed since he'd begun his training, yet he had been unable to completely purify the evil inside his body. It would take a long time to purge the colossal amount of demonic energy possessed by Soul Edge, but it did not matter- his mind was made up. Kilik was willing to make the sacrifice as a means to atone for the deaths he caused.

Even if it took an entire lifetime.

Yes, I understand the red thing. Actually, that is supposed to be part of the station building that the rides are set in with invisible path going over it. But I think i will lower the roof a little and make it fit in more. Probably change the colour from red as well. Thank you

Metro

Those supports are awesome Metro. Not really sure about the twisting spike though
On the other hand, your starting to get it with the pink flowers. Now you just need more. Lots more.

On another note, make sure you don't show too many screens of this park.
I know its big, but don't ruin the surprise.

nice little update there metro,
the supports are good and i like the lift hill section to the red ride?.
still great.

Really amazing.. my only suggestion is to add a different path type where there are steps, or you're raising the elevation.

What type of path do you suggest? Out of interest.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
